Elon Musk's net worth is now more than that of Warren Buffet, chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway. The real-time rankings of Forbes reveal his wealth is about $300 billion, which is about $100 billion more than Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

The net worth of Buffet is now just $125 billion. His investment journey started at age 11 in 1941. He is currently 91-year old.

The fortune of Musk is more than the wealth of Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, Larry Page and Sergey Brin clubbed together. His wealth can acquire all the thirty-two NFL teams and simultaneously could be leftover with about $190 billion.

The net worth of Musk can also be understood here that it is just short of about $35 billion of the South African GDP, which is currently $335 billion. His net worth is more than the GDPs of Portugal, Chile, Pakistan, Finland and Columbia.

The chief executive of SpaceX and Tesla is ranked the richest person ever by Forbes. However, the statement is argued by historical that the Mali Empire of the 13th century was wealthier if the inflation is adjusted. Similarly, the American industrialists of the last two centuries like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller were richer than Musk with respect to inflation adjustment.
